Pain at the PA Pump - 2006-05-11
Acronyms can do a disservice. Now that I live on the East Coast and am removed from my old political science stomping grounds of Middle Eastern affairs, PA means Pennsylvania. But to me, it's the Palestinian Authority.

In late 1999, an unidentified group of well-meaning American netizens organized the "Great Gas Out," an online crusade designed to get people to refrain from buying gas on a specified day.

African Oil - "The Horror" - 2006-05-01

When the Man Comes to Town - 2006-04-21
I'm back home, at my gentleman's ranch in Wyoming. I returned a few weeks from my mountain retreat in B.C.

Early-Stage Profits: My Next Winning Oil Stock - 2006-04-12
Think the bull market in oil & gas is over? Think again. As you know, we've already made a boatload in the sector. Readers who bought Storm Cat Energy when I originally recommended it are up over 1,000%. I've received dozens of letters from grateful su

Lowballin' - 2006-04-11

France's New Song: Serenade or Aubade? - 2006-04-03

Energetic EU - 2006-03-27

Pipeline Pals - 2006-03-22
The locals are doing the wrong dances. These Mandarin speakers must have sipped a little too much Stoli and besotted themselves into a state of ethnic confusion that causes them to skip and kick about, low to the ground like Cossacks. That, or they just

The Primrose Pipeline: Iraqi Oil in 2006 - 2006-03-20
This week's 3rd anniversary of the US-led invasion of Iraq has elicited a cacophony of forecasts. The basso profundo chorus voices doom and gloom, but the shrill squeak of optimism is still audible from the eunuchs in power.

In Sam Hopkins' article yesterday on clean coal, Sam briefly mentioned a technique for extracting so called "stranded" oil from older oil fields called enhanced oil recovery

Coal Gold Medal - 2006-02-27
The last 2 weeks have been like watching a never-ending TBS marathon of the Bill & Ted movies (those timeless classics Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure and Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey). "Dude... He nailed it!"

My New Coal Bed Methane Recommendation - 2006-02-22
